He's the PIC!

Only university I'm aware of that requires actual pilot uniforms for their CFIs is Kansas State...and those poor people look terrible with their purply-blue shirts. Lewis U might require them too, I can't remember 100%.

Looking nice is one thing, but wearing the long-pats penguin suit in an unairconditioned piston airplane in the middle of a southern or midwestern summer is retarded.

If it aint got turbines or radials, wearing epaulets makes you look like a complete tool.

Ya know what...I'd take a well paying CFI job with good benefits and free tuition even if it meant wearing epaulets....

But thats just me.

As dorky and toolish as it may be...I think we'd all make that sacrifice for a "good" job.

Wow.

You've got to be kidding me. Click on his username in the video description. Apparently he likes to shoot footage while holding the camera in his hand and flying solo (including takeoff and landing).

Riddle doesn't fly pieces of sh!t like that. Just the "Flight Team"

Could be spartan.


Students used to wear the blue shirts with maroon epaulets. Now they wear the same white shirts the instructors do, but some blue shirt folks are still around.

Riddle:

CFIs have to wear uniforms, like many other universities and academies.

Students are only required to wear long pants, no shorts.

Military uniforms are for ROTC...

I can't imagine wearing that stuff doing pattern work in the FL summer. I think I'd pass out.

Yeah, I'm sure it sucks. I'll have to get used to it, hopefully working as a CFI by the end of the year down there.

I've never seen anyone ram a throttle forward that fast on a recip and not need a bucket to pick up all the parts that blew out the exhaust pipe. Jeez.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that noticed that. That made me wince.

Is there a difference between being a PIC and being a Captain?
